Can You File A Claim For Injuries In Florida If You Did Not Report Them At The Time Of The Automobile Accident?

If you find yourself involved in a car crash in Florida, you should immediately report it to the police, even if no injuries are apparent, as a police report can assist the insurance companies in determining who was at fault. And if you’ve suffered injuries in the accident, you should seek immediate medical attention.

But it is important to note that in many cases, injuries are not immediately apparent at the time of an accident, and the victim may not experience pain or discomfort resulting from the incident until long after the initial reports have been filed. Many people assume that if they did not report actual injuries when the accident took place, the right to file a claim has been lost. That is not the case.
